    I do not agree that the game is bad. The gamplay, mechanics, and feel is near perfect. The design, art, and sound is amazing. I am not happy with the current state from a monetization standpoint, but to say it is a bad game - objectively, that is wrong. The reviews of the original game before the new monitization strategies were all great, and that core gameplay still exists(I know it was 6v6 not 5v5). I still play, and still have a great time when I do. I just protest with my wallet. If it was a bad game, there would not be so many people playing it and shelling over money for skins.

      Uh, no? It’s been proven time and again that people who buy skins don’t buy it out of love for the game, but because it’s effectively gambling and triggers the same spots in your brain that dopamine does.

        I would love to learn more. Any links to reputable sources on that research?

        OW no longer has loot boxes or random chance, so plenty of people shell put for ridiculous skins for their favorite heroes, so this is a bit different of a case
